I purchased $1000 worth of BTC...on Localbitcoins
when you make a withdrawal from a website (in this case withdrawing from localbitcoins.com) the cost is not a bitcoin transaction cost the cost is that
third party withdrawal cost. and they can ask for any amount they wish regardless of how much it costs them to send you the transaction. there currently are exchanges that will charge you 0.001
BTC for a bitcoin withdrawal just because they can and then they pay 0.000002
BTC transaction fee themselves to send you the coins. the difference is their
profit.
how much would i expect to pay these days to transfer 0.064 btc from the exchange to my own wallet for safekeeping?
it depends on the exchange you are using, you have to check out their fees. the fee as I mentioned above is not a network fee. some exchanges are even charging a % of your amount. I remember it was btc-x (coinsbank) that charged about 1%. for instance if you wanted to withdraw 10
BTC you should have paid 0.1
BTC in fee!
